Department of APECE, University of Dhaka

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested redirect. Academic department of questionable notability. Google search on "Department of APECE" "University of Dhaka‎" shows only 7 unique results out of 20 total. No significant coverage from independent sources. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:03, 21 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Proper search is requested to you. Google Search on [Department of APECE University of Dhaka] shows About 1560 Results. Quotation marks you used, gave you fault result. Hope this helps. --Rashtab (talk) 19:23, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, quotation marks in search terms narrow the focus to the specific phrases one is looking for. In discussions like this, the specific searches are more relevant. However, in fairness, since several of your search results use an abbreviation of "Department", I did a search on "Dept. of APECE" "University of Dhaka" and only got 63 unique results - again, outside of primary sources, there is no significant coverage from reliable sources.

 * Mike, "http://apece.univdhaka.edu/". This is a reliable source.And Google searches aren't actually big factor. Contact Aditya Sir. Contact informations are there at the website --Rashtab (talk) 20:04, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * No, as the main website for the department, that is a primary source. Please read the reliable sources guidelines. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:22, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Another Point, For example, Wikipedia search on Department of Computer Science shows there are wikipages on such articles from Oxford University, Toronto University, Durham University etc. So if this article on APECE Department is being considered to be deleted, all other such articles here at Wikipedia must be considered to be deleted. --Rashtab (talk) --Rashtab (talk) 20:30, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS for why that is an invalid argument. However, most of the articles you mention have been flagged for various problems, but their notability is not as questionable - a search on "Department of Computer Science" "University of Oxford" shows nearly 249,000 results, while a similar search for Toronto shows 204,000. That's a remarkable difference to this article, which is why it was redirected, and then nominated when you wouldn't accept the redirect. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:50, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * You're giving much attention to the Google searches. and the main thing is, the page Department of APECE, University of Dhaka is from a University in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is not so Developed country and the Native language here is Bangla(বাংলা). So, our internet database in English is not that strong. So, Google Search can't give you proper result. And it's not a false article. Come, visit Bangladesh; if you have any doubt. I'm a student of University of Dhaka. --Rashtab (talk) 21:14, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Please don't attribute things to me which I did not say. No one is claiming the article is false, or that the department doesn't exist. The question is whether it's notable enough for its own article. You have yet to offer anything that shows notability - just existence. 21:26, 21 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete The article contains no claim that this department is doing anything beyond any department in any university. Wikipedia is not the place for placeholders for each year's syllabus on a B.Eng degree. Nor do Google searches on full name or the abbreviation appear to turn up anything beyond confirmation of existence. AllyD (talk) 19:29, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * For more information plz visit "http://apece.univdhaka.edu/" .. And the Chairman of APECE, Dr. Subrata Kumar Aditya requested to create the page. --Rashtab (talk) 20:04, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep As I stated my reviews above, I request to keep the page Department of APECE, University of Dhaka --Rashtab (talk) 20:15, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete: Department is NOT independently notable. An alternative to delete can be to redirect to the University of Dhaka page, with a summary of this page being included there if it isn't there already. --Ragib (talk) 06:04, 22 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - No indication that this particular department stands out as something that reaches standalone notability. -- Whpq (talk) 20:26, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I was going to suggest a redirect to University of Dhaka, as I guess was originally done, but in fact this is an unlikely search term. Anyone looking for this department is going to look under "University of Dhaka", not under "department of...". To User:Rashtab, thank you for your strong feelings. Please don't be discouraged if this article is deleted; Wikipedia has rules for what kind of articles we can have here, see WP:NOTABILITY. If this article is deleted, I suggest you work on expanding the article University of Dhaka. That article just lists the departments; you could add more information and make it a better article. --MelanieN (talk) 15:51, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
